DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?


Yes they do.  I’m not here to advocate for any particular brand but I’ve heard a lot and they do matter. High Fidelity reveal cables, Kubala Sosna Elation and Clarity Cable Natural. I’m having a listening session where all of them is doing a great job. I’ve had cables that were cheaper in my system but a nicely priced cable that matches your system is a must.  I’m not here to argue what I’m not hearing because I have a pretty good ear.  I’m enjoying these three brands today and each is presenting the music differently but very nicely. Those who say cables don’t matter. Get your ears checked.  I have a system that’s worth about 30 to 35k retail.  Now all of these brands are above 1k and up but they really are performing! What are your thoughts.

Geoff Kait can you read?  You say prof avoided your point that a blind test doesn't determine whether there are differences between the devices in question. 
He actually said exactly that in his well written post to Elizabeth. 
And don't listen to Taras22 he is the other half of the TEO snake oil machine.

Two voices of reason amid the howling mob!
Howling mob? You have a very active imagination. This "debate" is just a tempest in a teapot. In truth, there really is no debate - many listening tests reveal differences in cables, including some scientific, double blind tests.

>>>>The real question is can you read. He is not agreeing with my main contention that no single test - whether blind or not - proves anything, especially when the results are negative. And it’s because too many things can go wrong. Do you guys want me to draw you a picture?

" Taras22 he is the proud other half of the TEO snake oil machine."

There, fixed it for you.

And speaking of not listening why don’t you try to not listen to this....

" Same for electronics from a minimum quality level up."

Gee, minimum is by definition the least quantity or amount possible ....like are we talking BOSE Wave here or something even further down the food chain? Cause least possible is pretty much least, like bottom of the pile. Or are we talking wind-up Victrola and would that be with a new or used cactus stylus ( I only ask because the used one would be more minimum ) ?

Ok, seriously now, I thought this idea had died a long time ago, and had a stake driven through its heart just to be sure, but I guess not. Even more seriously, I’m sensing some weird Julian Hirsch zombie presence here, anybody else getting that vibe, or is that just the pizza I had last night talking ( note to self, you really gotta lay off the hot peppers, especially late at night ) ?
